GREAT shoe, but the redesign needs a redesign !I've been buying this shoe style for probably 15+ years because it's been so darned comfortable out of the box.
The size (for me 9W) has been true to size. HOWEVER, over the last few years, the sole material has changed to a less wear resistant material. I used to comfortably get 1.5 years out of daily wear, but now I only get 8 months before they wear out. Not acceptable and probably won't be buying them again ... especially since they have become an expensive and not so long wearing ... oh well, I guess things change.
Would recommend for comfort, size and style, but NOT for durability ... $100 for this poor wearing shoe is too much ...

If I could only have one pair of shoes..I'm on my 7th pair of these shoes over the last 13 years or so. If I could only own one pair of shoes this would be the shoe.
I wear these shoes to work and if traveling where I walk a lot, this is my go to shoe.
I have a very high arch and suffer from Plantars Faciitis. I am also a big guy about 280 lbs. These shoes provide a very stable walking platform and great support. The insole provided does not have very great arch support but this is easily remedied by buying aftermarket insoles or if you wear orthotics. The height of the show in the forefoot is still very comfortable despit having a high arch. I agree with some of the reviewers that have noted that the shoe has undergone slight redesign and seems slightly tighter in the toebox but not enough for me to change the size or not buy the shoe.
The shoe style is at home in a business casual environment and this is the show I wear most days. It is still casual enough that I can wear with jeans.

Perfect ShoeStarted wearing this style walking shoe 20+ years ago. For me, the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I keep 3 pair of these shoes on hand at all times. One pair I use for work and causal times. A second pair I wear everyday and around the house or work in the yard. A third pair (new) on the shelf. When my yard or around the house pair wears out, I rotate the work, casual pair to everyday and the new pair comes off the shelf for work. Then, I order a new pair for the shelf. Really love these shoes. Have not found any shoe more comfortable than these World Tour Classics.

A bit disappointed in the initial comfort level.I have worn the Rockport wing tip for several years to my great pleasure. It was a nice fitting (I have a narrow foot) and comfortable shoe, very light in weight. I was in need of a more versatile shoe for some travel, but still "nice" enough to wear with slacks and a sport coat. My initial impression of the comfort level of this shoe is disappointment. Seems "stiff" and the top of the shoe at the ankle opening seems to chafe at my ankle. I have added a gel insert, and am hoping the shoe will "loosen up" the stiffness and the ankle issue with some wear. I must also admit that the photo on line gives more the impression of a hiker/walker type shoe and the live product gives more the impression of an "old man's shoe".

Sadly disapointed with shoe.I have purchased this exact shoe for over 10 years for work and now, after this last pair I will have to find another brand...the insole had to be replaced the minute I got the shoes because they were paper thin...I noticed the Quality of materials in the last couple of pairs I got were going downhill...this one is the last pair I will waste my money on.

recommended by orthotistOver 30 years ago, I suffered a very serious knee injury downhill skiing. Over 15 years ago after many years of pain I got a prescription for inserts; my orthotist recommend Rockport-World Tour shoes. Since then I have never looked back; these are my dress, casual and walking shoes. I own many pairs. I replace them as needed although they last a long time and I am rough on my shoes. I have a labrador retriever that I take for short walks 2 to 3 times a day. My family physician this year declined to prescribe a knee replacement because my mobility and pain control is good. I thank my walking and my walking shoes. Thank you Rockport!

8th pair and still my favoriteThough the shoes have changed some over the years, these are still my favorite for everyday wear. More comfortable than tennis shoes, better looking, and go with every kind of long pant from jeans to dress trousers. Also, the soles never wear out.
Only two minor complaints. First, the upper leather above the heel has weakend with new models so that it crushes a little each time I put the shoes on. This wears out that area faster than normal. Seems to be a design/quality change that happened a few years back. Also, the tow area scuffs a little easier these days...thinner smooth layer on the leather? But polish takes it back to new till it wears off.
